Bradley Cooper responds to his "engagement" to Amy Schumer

Okay, so it looks like the Jennifer Lawrence/Amy Schumer friendship gang is starting to rival Taylor's crew in the 'people we'd really like to hang out with' rankings. Because alongside Aziz Ansari, J-Law's bestie Bradley Cooper has joined in on all the fun. And while Taylor's cult of baking and cats sounds fun, Amy and Jennifer have ALCOHOL and sexual jokes, and Bradley Cooper.

Ideally we'd like both, heading to Taylor's pad during the week when we're up for a chilled night in chatting about feminism and artistic rights. Then for intense fun and witty banter, we'll go to Amy's place. Just dreaming aloud here, people, but it's important to work out where you belong.

ANYWAY. ICYMI, Amy Schumer made some excellent comments about Bradley Cooper in her SNL opening monlogue the other week, in which she recounted having a long conversation with Bradley and explained that basically, that means they're engaged now. Obviously. "Am I dating Bradley Cooper?" she pondered. "I don't know how Hollywood works, but I'm pretty sure that I'm dating Bradley Cooper."

Usually when we make jokes about being engaged to celebrities they go ignored, and we can continue to blissfully pretend we are indeed happily wedded to Donald Glover (just me? No?). But Amy Schumer does actually know Bradley Cooper. So he responded to her jokes on Howard Stern this week, and it was great.

First off, Bradley thinks Amy is "very attractive", which is exciting and momentarily made us forget about Suki Waterhouse to dream of a Brami wedding.

He explains that Amy's anecdote about their awkward encounter actually did happen. "She wasn't [hitting on me]," he said, "But I do remember her coming to sit down because we had an awkward exchange at the MTV Movie Awards where we didn't know each other, and she was sort of yelling my name and then I looked over and was like, 'Hey,' and then we talked. But at first, it was like, 'Who is this person screaming at me?'

"So then I saw her at this [Time 100] event and she came over. All that stuff of her getting called and me saying no, no, no—that really happened. I thought I was getting a little creepy because I was making her stay."

Last week Bradley also revealed that he texted Amy immediately after watching SNL to tell her she was "hilarious", admitting to Elle: "The truth is, I remember I met her and then she was on a talk show and made up some story that I pretended to avoid her."

All in all, the friendship sounds very fun and filled with weird in-jokes and we'd like to be invited in, please.
